Angiocentric glioma
Definition
Angiocentric glioma (AG) is an extremely rare slow-growing glial neoplasm of the central nervous system, usually arising in a superficial location in the cerebrum, affecting all ages and both sexes, and characterized by intractable seizures and headaches, with most cases being cured by surgical incision alone and therefore having a good prognosis.
